ABSTRACT

In this brief account I outline the failings of the educational system worldwide (and in general) and reveal certain symptoms that result from this twisted form of knowledge transference. I then diagnosed this illness, but the cancer (the ills of the world) need not spread unchecked and in this light, I offer some potential medicines, remedies and operations so to speak of the educational system in a general paradigm shifting account, that may solve these problems and restore health and equilibrium. I suggest that this problem is urgent and needs to be addressed at this juncture in human history, lest history repeat itself and violence, greed and ignorance win the day.
